The Bible verses I was taught at church and the testimony of my parents and others introduced me to Jesus.

Happily I planned to start a new relationship with Christ based on his promise of forgiveness to me, rather than my efforts to be good enough. The Lord then immediately directed me into grace centered discipleship at college and afterward.

This book also aims to demonstrate this truth to those who oppose it or may not have heard it....

Here he shows God's power, in that He has not only saved, but has even justified, and led them to boasting, and this too without needing works, but looking for faith only" (John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans, Homily 7, commenting on Romans chapter 3:27. Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, Vol. 11. Edited by Philip Schaff)....
